Australia Hangs Tough but Chile Is Too Strong

Aussies' Tim Cahill Kept Team in the Match After Chileans Opened With a Burst

CUIABA, Brazil—It was breakfast time in Sydney when Australia began its World Cup campaign thousands of miles away in the sweltering Brazilian city of Cuiaba on Friday. Within 15 minutes, Chile's Alexis Sanchez had helped serve up two goals to make Australian stomachs turn.

Sanchez opened the scoring after 12 minutes and then, just two minutes later, the Barcelona forward set up Jorge Valdivia to give Chile a 2-0 lead.
